His orientation is just bedrock of what the media believes is appropriate. A left-ish deviation from what they consider to be acceptable would be relentlessly attacked. See: de Blasio, Bill.

For the most part, they don’t even see this. Your average editor/producer/reporter doesn’t think they’re expressing any ideology at all. Or, more precisely, that they are really trying to minimize any “bias”. 🙄 But the kid gloves for adams/bloomberg versus de Blasio illuminates

He was hungover and MIA. This kind of shameless in-your-face lying is a serious challenge to reporters and a democracy. It’s like Trump, at the nyc level.

. @NYCMayor is in The Hole in Queens, an area that tends to flood during storms. Asked if he wishes he would've done something differently before or on Friday, Adams says he wishes he would've "mobilized" other elected official to join him on the streets during the storm.

Meanwhile, under Cuomo/Hochul NYS has been stuck for several years at about 5% wind & solar on the grid.

@EoinHiggins_ In the past few months, I’ve realized I was sold an image of Warren that wasn’t warranted. I still respect her legislative and political work, but she’s got problems telling the truth.

It’s really cold. I think it’s cruel that @NYCMayor has cops ejecting homeless people from subways, where it’s warm. People need housing not this meanness for political points.

I'm seeing a bunch of well-intentioned people concerned about covid pointing out that ventilation is important. Yes, it is. Buildings should have proper ventilation. Also crazy-ass energy waste isn't necessary for that. Overheating to then need to open a window isn't... great.

Reporters and editors keep failing to disclose that the climate impact analysis they cite - including lately of the federal bill - comes from entities that are funded by the oil & gas industry. Outrageous.

The real problem is rising, out of control housing costs in a city that’s so popular, vast numbers of people want to live here. The fact that rents are famously high does nothing to change the conservatives nobody wants to live in NYC myth. They’re frightened, dumb racists.

Ryan Carson turned his passion into purpose. He advocated tirelessly for others, and his giving spirit was a buoy to all. His murder is unthinkable, and the NYPD won't rest until we bring him to justice. I'm praying for all who knew and loved Ryan.

Eric Adams is going down and it’s not because he’s a corporate Dem, but being pay for play in policy decisions is how he rolls. That may be legal - the system with super pac, lobbying networks and jobs etc - but it’s also corrupt as hell.

In my view, the anti-Eric Adams base is now quite a lot larger than the Adams base. I know a lot of people who would crawl over broken glass to vote for any opponent (other than maybe Cuomo).

Eric Adams had time to record a video message for a school-sponsored competition for my daughter’s and other schools this past weekend. He hasn’t even called the Neely family, tho. Gee, I wonder why?

Midtown traffic locked up and blocking pedestrians, too. You can hear an ambulance trying to get through. Gee if only there was some sort of public policy action ready to go that could reduce traffic, pollution and fund mass transit all at once? #CongestionPricingNow

💯 agree Adama is toast. There are political insiders who are mistakenly thinking Adams can hold out and not resign. I don’t believe that is correct. Hochul will have to push him out, even if he’s a political and ideological ally. Sooner or later he will resign. I think sooner.
